#Donkey Kong

A trademark doesn't necessarily mean confirmation of a project, but I can easily see Nintendo following through on this pair they filed this month. Japanese Nintendo uncovered two trademarks: "Mario vs. Donkey Kong" and "Spirit Tracks," whi...

The dynamic between Rare and Nintendo is fascinating. You have the former, whose fate was intrinsically linked to Nintendo for so long, now out and about with the competition -- Microsoft.

We haven't heard much about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle's second DLC pack since its reveal in January, but Ubisoft has unleashed a new trailer for us to feast on. In addition to narrowing down the release window (to Spring 2018), we also...

The Wii U failed to set the world on fire and as such, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze didn't sell exceptionally well. That isn't to say the game was a failure (it broke a million copies by quite a bit), but it sold worse than both ver...

While taking a quick look through Twitter, I saw that My Nintendo currently had a quest based around Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Put on the website to celebrate the launch of the Switch port, this quest tasks you with finding all ...

When I saw that Donkey Kong Country was coming back in the form of Returns live at E3 so many years ago, I couldn't hold back a cheer. It's a series that meant a lot to me ever since Rare took up the mantle and brought Diddy Kong into this ...

Digital Foundry just put Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze to the test on Switch, and the results came back positive in favor of the port job.
The original Tropical Freeze on Wii U was 720p60, and the Switch edition upgrades th...

The $60 Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is nearly here, and a new Switch-centric trailer shows off a few nuanced features for the portable.
You'll see a very brief smash icon for hitting barrels at the end of a match that entails both ...

A lot of people were surprised when allegations came out that Billy Mitchell's high scores in the arcade classic Donkey Kong may have been faked. This was the man featured in a famous documentary The King of Kong and who was notorious for b...

There are very few people out there who haven't at least tried the original Donkey Kong Country. Nintendo and Rare have made it fairly easy over the years, with many copies of the SNES original circulating out there, as well as Game Boy Col...

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is shaping up very nicely if this new footage is any indication. The game already looked fantastic on Wii U, but at this point the Switch's extra power makes it really pop.
Again, we now know that Tropic...

Thanks to a tip from a reader, I was able to log into my Japanese eShop account on Switch and take a gander at the listing for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze -- only to find out that the file size has been posted!
According to the lis...

One of the more difficult things, for me, about being a gamer is finding ways to display my love for the medium in ways that aren't entirely tacky. Sure, I'm wearing a juvenile Mega Man 9 shirt as I write this, but I try to be fashiona...

Because Nintendo charged $60 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it stands to reason that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, with the addition of the "Funky mode," would probably be priced in that same neighborhood. Well, Nintendo confirmed that in...

As announced in the Nintendo Direct Mini this morning, Tropical Freeze will hit the Switch in a few months.
No, Nintendo isn't calling it Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze POLAR EDITION or anything, just the plain old original title...

[It's often been said that limitations help creativity. Well, I don't think there's any genre more limited than single-screen platformers! Pacario takes us on an old-school, no scrolling allowed trip down memory lane. Got a story to tell? Y...

Last week, to close the book on the Nintendo Wii U, I brought you the top 10 games for the system as voted on by members of the Destructoid staff (which you can read here, here and here). Bayonetta 2 ranked as number one in a close vote, bu...

In a smoke-filled theatre on Broadway 84 years ago we were introduced to "Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World." And we all know what happened after that: Jack Black's hubris led to a damn dirty ape scaling our towers with our women. Sure w...

The Wizarding World of Mario finally has a name and due date, Nintendo and Universal Studios have announced. The Nintensula, if you will, will be called Super Nintendo World and will boot up in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics at Universal ...

A quick Google search suggests the average lifespan for a gorilla is in the neighborhood of 35 years.
As it turns out, Donkey Kong, Nintendo's premier primate, turns 35 today. Were a real ape, DK probably wouldn't have many more years ahead...

The world of competitive Donkey Kong is still lit. If you're far removed from the high-score chasing of the King of Kong documentary era, when Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe, and Hank Chien were jockeying for supremacy, note that their once-r...

I vaguely remembered Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as my favorite film at one point, despite having only seen it Upon rewatching, it may not be my favorite, but it’s up Charlie Kaufman’s screenplays never
